As an intern, I can tell you that the Wrangell Mountains Center has had a profound impact on my sense of place and community in McCarthy. My time here has taught me more about sustainable living, solar power systems, hauling water and living on a minimal budget. It has helped me meet fantastic naturalists, teachers, and travelers, as well as the young people and writers who come to our summer programs.
